Trump's "armada" has been heading away from North Korea

[Lakhota]

Baghdad Bob Spicer referred to the carrier as "steaming" into the Sea of Japan. Steaming? Even while in Singapore? Holy shit...

The aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson transits the Sunda Strait on April 15, 2017.

Trump said he was “sending an armada” to the Korean Peninsula, but that didn’t happen.

When U.S. officials claimed two weeks ago that an American aircraft carrier was heading toward waters near North Korea, it was actually sailing in the opposite direction, The New York Times and Defense News report.

Amid growing tensions between the U.S. and North Korea, U.S. Pacific Command announced on April 8 that the USS Carl Vinson strike group would sail north to the western Pacific after departing Singapore that day. An American official told Reuters at the time that the ships’ move toward the Korean Peninsula was a show of force directed at the regime of Kim Jong Un.

U.S. National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster told Fox News the next day that the group was being rerouted from Singapore toward the Korean Peninsula as a “prudent” show of force.

Mere days after the announcement about the strike group’s new course, President Donald Trump weighed in on the North Korean threat. “We are sending an armada, very powerful. We have submarines, very powerful, far more powerful than the aircraft carrier,” Trump told Fox on April 12.

“We have the best military people on Earth. And I will say this: He is doing the wrong thing,” Trump added, referring to Kim Jong Un.

But Defense News pointed out on Tuesday that photos released by the U.S. Navy showed the aircraft carrier passing through the Sunda Strait in Indonesia, about 3,500 miles from the Korean Peninsula, last Saturday. It was moving away from North Korea when U.S. officials said it was moving toward the peninsula, the Times confirmed on Tuesday.

The ship has changed direction since then, but is expected to arrive far later than initial reports suggested.

What if North Korea has taken Trump's earlier threats seriously - when the supposed "armada" was actually 3,500 miles away and heading in the opposite direction? Did Trump lie - or is he just stupid? Everything about Trump is dangerous and dishonest. Japan and South Korea must be very nervous.

Another idiot posts this. I'll give you left wing morons credit you sure jump hard and in unison when your leaders tell you to.

Ships have steering mechanism's you tool. They can be heading in one direction then suddenly, get this it's crazy engineering shit you probably won't be able to follow but try, they can actually turn and go somewhere else! It's fucking science! Amazingly you can have these giant ships that launch warplanes and send send them to one place and they can actually turn the hell around and go somewhere else. It's unreal how far we have come technology wise isn't it?

Funny. Do you know the difference between sailing north and sailing south? Read the OP...

I know the difference is you can steer the fucking thing the other direction if needed.

Yeah, sparky, how many days does it take to turn that "armada" around? Trump's been bragging about it for days heading toward North Korea - when it has actually been heading south. Imagine how secure that makes Japan and South Korea feel. Funny...

Looks like less than two minutes if you remove the dramatic music you fucking idiot. You do realize one of the major points of a military vehicle is the ability to change direction fast and hard right? You get that concept?

How long would it take a nuclear aircraft carrier to travel 3,500 miles? I would estimate a minimum of 70 hours under ideal conditions.

How does one misplace an armada (naval fleet)?

Misplace? It was in one place you thought you needed it and it moved to another you needed it. How the fuck is that misplaced?

Oh, so now you are changing the goal posts from your stupid it takes days to turn an aircraft carrier to it's speed in arriving at the destination. Can you make up your mind on what you want to diss PDT on here?

That's the Kitty Hawk you dumb ass. Decommissioned on 12 May 2009. So obviously not heading for Korea!

Man you left wingers are fucking stupid.

 

[easyt65]

I read where China and Russia was sending their own naval vessels there. It is, therefore, perhaps wise to pull back to de-escalate.

Whose 'blood-thirsty' now?

As usual Republicans have no idea what to do with the US military. They think of it as they view their daddy's bb gun.

Drumpf made a huge blunder by 'declaring' an armada blah blah North Korea, when it was a lie and fake news. Now Kim Jong Un knows drumpf is too weak to do anything. He flaps his gums and then turns tail. He's too busy making sure his brainless daughter is getting a marketing deal with leader Xi of China instead.

The mother of all paper tigers.

Despite talk of a military strike, Trump’s ‘armada’ actually sailed away from Korea

Holy shit. Singapore ain't near North Korea.

Last time I heard they left the area April 17/17. (between Jakarta and Indonesia) 11 pm local time.

I have a feeling Trump and Mathis didn't know where this armada are located.

Thank you! I was just getting ready to ask if anyone knew where the "armada" is currently located.

Brian Williams just stated that the "armada" is a long way from the Korean peninsula.

Yep they're 3500 miles away in the Indian ocean doing drills with the Ausi's. Unbelieveable--the Comedy T.V reality show continues.

Trump never mentioned the Carl Vinson Task Force in his armada statement. Not once! The media and pundits jumped to conclusions and assumed it was the Vinson.

Brian Williams just stated that the "armada" is a long way from the Korean peninsula.

He doesn't know that.

 

[Steve_McGarrett]

Trump is too smart for the left. Notice Trump only stated he had an armada headed that way. Did it ever occur that he was sending a large number of submarines loaded with powerful Tomahawk and Polaris missiles. The media jumped the gun and assumed it was the Carl Vinson. Here's Trump's exact words in the interview:


“We are sending an armada. Very powerful,” Trump said during an interview with Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo. “We have submarines. Very powerful. Far more powerful than the aircraft carrier. That, I can tell you.”

That's all he said.Trump is just too intelligent for these Leftist who jump to false conclusions.
